ABSTRACTOn a short time scale, Brownian particles undergo a transition from initially ballistic trajectories to diffusive motion. Hydrodynamic interactions with the surrounding fluid lead to a complex time dependence of this transition. We directly probe this transition for colloidal particles by measuring the autocorrelation function of multiply scattered light and observe the effects of the slow power-law decay of the velocity autocorrelation function.
